NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCES FROM iCANDIDA/i YEASTS WHICH CODE CYTOCHROME B5 POLYPEPTIDES

摘要

The invention relates to nucleic acid sequences from iCandida/i yeasts, preferably from iCandida maltosa/i, which code cytochrome b5 polypeptides, as well as to the corresponding cytochrome b5 polypeptides and their use for increasing the activity of cytochrome P450 systems, especially for stimulating the activity of alkane-hydroxylating and fatty acid-hydroxylating cytochrome P450 systems during the production of long-chained dicarboxylic acids (/=C10).
